Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, March 11 (UPI) -- The chairman of the Motion Pictures Association of America, Dan Glickman, wants to make the NC-17 rating respectable.
The MPAA has recently been fine-tuning the movie rating system, and this week at ShoWest in Las Vegas Glickman will plead his case along with National Association of Theater Owners John Fithian and Classification & Ratings Administration head Joan Graves, The Variety reported.
They will raise the subject of NC-17 while giving a briefing on overall changes being proposed to the ratings system that are designed to make the system easier to decipher.
The NC-17 rating has been around since Universals "Henry & June" in 1990, but has since become seen in bad light.
One of the ideas for the use of the NC-17 category is to eliminate what is known as "hard R's," which is content that is so graphic that it should not be seen by anyone under the age of 17. An example is the "Saw" franchise, the report said.
